Using Skype in the classroom to connect with other teachers and students across the world can be beneficial in many ways. We can learn about other cultures and how those students learn and interact with other teachers to learn more about our field and get advice and tools through them. Mystery Skype is when one classroom Skypes another classroom, and students from each take turns asking questions to try to discover where the other classroom is located. In my other class, we did a Mystery Skype with a third grade class in Florida...and they figured it out before we did! It was a lot of fun and it was neat to see elementary school kids in their own environment. Mystery Skype is a great way for teachers to integrate Skype and connected learning into their classroom, and it is a fantastic way to introduce this type of learning because it is fun, challenging and engaging. This will intrigue students and make them want to learn more about using Skype to connect with people all over the world for educational purposes.
